GENERAL INFORMATION

Choosing classes: This Course Catalog is designed to help students and their parents select classes that will best meet the educational needs of the individual student. We have a variety of courses to meet many different needs and interests. Selecting a class indicates a commitment to that course. Choose your classes carefully as you will be spending a semester (18 weeks) or a full school year in them. If you do not understand a course description, ask your counselor or teacher for further explanation. Be sure you sign up for classes required for graduation. All courses offered will depend on sufficient stude nt registration numbers in those courses. Students are required to be enrolled in six (6) cla sses each semester through their Junior year. Seniors must be enrolled in a minimum of five (5) c lasses all year in order to participate in graduati on ceremonies. Seniors may request, with parent approv al, early release. Athletes may not have an early release during their sport’s season. Should you or your student request a different teacher, please know that in an effort to be consistent and fair to all, it will only be approved if there is compelling evidence of need.

Grading System: The State Board of Education has established the following grades and corresponding points to be used by all high schools in the State of Washington: A = 4.0 B+ = 3.3 C+ = 2.3 D+ = 1.3 F = 0.0 A- = 3.7 B = 3.0 C = 2.0 D = 1.0 NC = 0.0

B- = 2.7 C- = 1.7 P = Pass (a credit is earned but not figured into GPA) Repeated Courses and Grade Point Average (GPA): All marks/grades for all courses taken are included in the calculation of GPA except for: 1. Non-numerical marks/grades are excluded in the calculation of students’ GPA; and 2. Only the highest grade earned for a class taken mor e than once to improve a grade is included in the calculation of the GPA. Students may repeat a course to improve their GPA. All courses attempted must be included on the transcript. Following the successful completion of the repeated class the letter grade from the first attempt will remain on the transcript but will not be counted in the GPA. If a course is taken to replace a letter grade that was earned (B, C, or D) the credit earned for the first class will be forfeited. Students who fail a class for the second time will have both failing grades remain on their transcript. Students must notify their counselors for a change to take place.

Grades when dropping/withdrawing from classes: “All high school level courses attempted, including those courses where a student has withdrawn” must be listed on the transcript. (WAC 392-415-070) South Kitsap School District considers any course in which a student is enrolled after the 10th day of the semester to be an “attempted” class. Students who withdraw from a course after the first 10 days of a semester will receive a failing (F) grade unless there are significant extenuating circumstances which will prevent their continued success. Determination of “significant extenuating circumstances” warranting a withdrawal (W) grade can only be made by administration. Withdrawal grades will also be listed on a transcript and forwarded to receiving schools in the event a student transfers to another school prior to the end of a semester.

3

In the middle of each school year, students will design schedules for the upcoming school year and are expected to keep the classes they select. Towards the middle of each semester, students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with their counselor to ensure their next semester schedule will still meet their credit needs. Approximately three weeks prior to the end of each semester, preliminary schedules are distributed to students. Students then have 4 days to see their counselor in the Commons during lunches to make schedule changes. After this time, schedule changes are closed. Changes after the beginning of the semester will be considered if a student has an incomplete schedule, lacks a graduation or college requirement, has a prior failure, has already earned credit for the cl ass, has a conflicting class, or is academically misplaced. Five days after the beginning of the semester, students who drop a course may receive a failing grade.

COLLEGE-BOUND SCHOLARSHIP For students who registered in the 7th-8th grade as College-Bound Scholars and meet the minimum requirements by graduation, the state of Washington has promised to pay for your college tuition to participating colleges and technical schools. For more information contact the Guidance Office, Career Center, or the Washington Student Achievement Council at 1.888.535.0747 or at www.wsac.wa.gov/collegebound.

SCHOLARSHIPS Various scholarships are available to SKHS students through the Career Center. Free scholarship information is also available from the South Kitsap High School website www.skitsap.wednet.edu/skhs (follow the SCHOLARSHIP link) and from the Washington Scholarship Coalition website www.thewashboard.org.

SCHEDULE CORRECTION PROCEDURE

SCHOLARSHIPS

4

All students need a solid foundation of reading, writing, math and science skills for their plans after high school. Several statewide graduation requirements help make sure students have this foundation. Earn credits in specific courses . See page. 6 for detailed information on the graduation requirements adopted by the South Kitsap School District school board. Develop a High School and Beyond Plan . The High School and Beyond plan is a formal process designed to help students think about their future and select course work that will best prepare them for their post high school goals. Students create their High School and Beyond plan in cooperation with parents/guardians and school staff. Some of the elements included in the plan are:

Their goals for high school—what their four years of high school look like, including classes, extracurricular activities, sports, a job, etc. Their goals for immediately after high school—a student’s plan should include research on postsecondary training and the classes needed to prepare for a 2– to 4– year college, vocational or technical school, certificate program, military or the workforce. Earn a Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA) or Certificate of Individual Achievement (CIA). To earn a CAA, students must meet standard on the following tests or approved alternates:

English Language Arts Assessment (ELA) The ELA may be met through several options, including

Reading and Writing HSPE, ELA exit exam, or the college and career ready ELA test. Mathematics Assessment or Math End of Course exam (EOC) in Algebra or Geometry Biology End of Course exam (EOC) (Class of 2017, 2018)

Students that transfer from out-of-state their junior or senior year and Special Education students may use alternate means to meet standard on the exams and earn a CIA.

For more information on graduation and testing, please check the state’s website: http://www.k12.wa.us/GraduationRequirements/default.aspx. Also check out the Graduation Toolkit at http://www.k12.wa.us/GraduationRequirements/GraduationToolkit.aspx. In some situations, students may need to earn credits outside the regular school day in order to get back on track for graduation. For any of the options listed below, pre-approval is required before taking the class or requesting credit. Contact your high school counselor for approval for ms .

Choice Credits— These are select classes that were completed during the 7th and 8th grade years. Completing a zero or seventh hour class at SKHS— These classes meet before or after school. We

Summer school at SKHS— Information and applications are available on the district website in the spring, www.skitsap.wednet.edu .

Online Learning —These courses are completed through internet or correspondence programs. These accredited alternative courses may be approved for classes previously failed (referred to as “credit retrieval”). Students seeking credit for a distance learning course must obtain approval from their parent, counselor and the principal prior to enrollment .

Community college courses —These can be taken in the evenings, online, or during summer quarter. Costs vary according to the number of credits taken.

Granting Credit for state testing results —If you meet standard on the SBA/ELA/MATH/EOC, then you may be eligible for retrieval credit.

South Kitsap High School is freshly authorized as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School! We will begin offering IB classes in the fall of school year 2016-2017 with students in the Class of 2018 and beyond having the opportunity to earn an IB Diploma. SKHS is the only school on the Kitsap Peninsula authorized by the International Baccalaureate organization to offer the IB diploma. What is IB? The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is a worldwide honors program that aims to develop glob-ally minded thinkers, promote curiosity in learning and encourage knowledge of local and global signifi-cance. IB provides a program for highly motivated and engaged students to participate in a rigorous course of study. The rigor and curriculum of IB courses helps prepare students for a successful transi-tion from high school to college and the workplace. When do IB courses start? SKHS will begin offering IB classes to 11th grade students in the fall of 2016. Students are encouraged in the 9th and 10th grade to enroll in honors and advanced placement (AP) courses to help them prepare for the rigor of IB courses that start in 11th grade. Throughout the four years of high school, students are encouraged to develop their skills in time management and problem solving, understand multiple per-spectives and reflect on their learning as it applies to new situations. What are the advantages for taking IB courses? � Students who enroll in an IB course, pass the course and culminating exam, will earn college credit

from recognized universities from around the world. � Students who complete the IB diploma program may have priority admission to universities, increased

college credit, and additional scholarship opportunities. � IB is a rigorous academic program that will challenge students and prepare students who are planning

on entering a 4-year college after high school. � Universities in the United States and foreign universities are very interested in IB Diploma students as

it is a great way for them to identify highly qualified and motivated students. What courses are offered in 9 th and 10 th grade to help prepare for IB courses in 11 th and 12 th grade? 9th grade: Honors English, AP Environmental Science, AP Human Geography, Geometry, Spanish, Mandarin, and Art. 10th grade: Honors English, Chemistry, Physics, AP European History, AP Psychology, Advanced Algebra, Math Analysis, Spanish II, Mandarin II, Art (if full year not

completed in grade 9).

What would an 11 th grade IB diploma schedule potentially look like? Math: IB Math Studies or IB Math SL (Standard Level) English: IB Language & Literature High Level (11th and 12th grade course) Science: IB Biology High Level (11th and 12th grade course) Social Studies: IB History of the Americas (11th and 12th grade course) IB Choice Elective: IB Music, IB Film, IB Spanish, IB Chemistry, IB Physics, IB Mandarin Elective/ToK: Elective choice 1st semester / Theory of Knowledge (ToK– Spring 11th grade & Fall 12th grade) CAS: Creativity, Action, and Service Course

SKHS INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB)

What are the different levels of involvement within the IB program starting in the 11 th grade?

Option 1: Students can enroll in an IB course without officially registering with IB and not taking the culminating exam. When students pass an IB course, they will earn credit toward high school graduation.

Option 2: Student can be a “course candidate ” and officially register with IB to take the culminating exams in the subjects that the student is interested in. Successful completion of one or more IB courses and exams results in high school credit and college credit at recognized universities around the world.

Options 3: Students can choose the Career Certificate Program . Students would take 2 IB cours-es and a 2 year career track course of study. They would have to complete a Career Certificate Program core which includes a class in Personal and Professional Growth, Community Service, and project on an ethical issue in the student’s career course of study.

Option 4: Students can choose the most rigorous and distinguished option of registering to be an IB “diploma candidate ”. To achieve this goal of an IB diploma, students are encouraged to start planning their courses prior to 9th grade to ensure all courses for the IB diploma and all courses for Washington State graduation requirements are met.

The following requirements are needed to earn an IB diploma:

� Successful completion of six subjects (3 Higher Level courses, all 2 years of study and 3 Standard Level courses, option of 1 year or 2 year depending on the course).

� Completion of a Theory of Knowledge (ToK) course, including a required assessment. This course will be offered Spring of Junior year and conclude Fall of Senior year.

� Completion of Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) course. This course will be offered during SKHS tutorial time.

� Submission of an Extended Essay which is an independent research paper consisting of around 4,000 words that will be submitted to IB for grading. IB recommends approximately 50 hours of work by the students to complete this essay. Essays are submitted to IB November of Senior year.

� Earning an IB diploma is then determined by the num ber of points the students has achieved in completing all the above requirements.

The following requirements are needed to earn an IB Career Program Certificate:

Successful completion of 2 IB Diploma Courses Successful completion of a 2 year course of study in a career related field Completion of the Personal and Professional Skills Course. This course will be offered in the spring

of junior year and conclude fall of senior year. Completion of 50 hours of documented community service. Submission of a project on an ethical issue in student’s career field Documentation of Language development in a second language.

* Certificates are issued to students who complete the assessment requirements in specific

courses. What is the application procedure to enroll in IB?

Students with a strong work ethic and a high level of motivation are encouraged to pick up an IB ap-plication. IB applications are available at the middle/junior high schools and the high school in the counseling offices.

COLLEGE CREDIT OPTIONS WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL

Students are encouraged to take advantage of courses, which if successfully completed, will earn the student high school AND college credit. This can help defray the costs of post-secondary education. All courses are taught using college level curriculum. Course offerings are subject to change.

Advanced Placement classes (AP)— We offer many AP classes that can lead to college credits. If the student takes the AP exam given in the spring and scores high enough on the test, they may be awarded credit by the college they attend after high school. (See college websites for the scores they will accept for credit.)

University of Washington in the High School classes —We offer several classes that use university curriculum where students earn college credit if they earn a ‘B’ or better. Students must pay tuition and registration fees for the course. The fees are approx. $350 and are subject to change.

UW in the High School Astronomy UW in the High School German (Pending UW approval) UW in the High School Oceanography (Marine Science) UW in the High School Pre-Calculus UW in the High School Spanish

Tech Prep— Tech Prep courses are designed to prepare students for highly-skilled occupations. Tech

Prep credits are granted by a college if the student earns a ‘B’ or better and completes required registration in the Tech Prep system in the same year they take the course. Credits will appear on the student’s college transcript at no cost. Credit is granted by a community college unless otherwise noted. Articulated classes can change from year to year.

Accounting Digital Photo American Sign Language (ASL) I, II, III Digital Media— Web Design Athletic Medicine (Beginning and Advanced) Early Childhood Education Beginning CAD Engineering CAD 1&2 Child Development Marketing 1 Careers in Education Marketing Work Experience Commercial Photo Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) Digital Media— Flash Animation Work-based/site Learning (WBL)

Running Start— This is a partnership between the high school and community colleges/vocational schools. The program enables high school juniors and seniors, who successfully complete a placement test, to attend college classes and earn high school and college credits simultaneously. Students may attend any community college/vocational school in the area. Tuition is paid by the school district for up to fifteen credits per quarter, excluding summer. (Individuals who enroll at a community college or technical school and complete an Associate Degree may also be awarded a high school diploma from the college.)

High schools in our state are expected to increasingly engage students to connect high school learning to applications in the real world, and require that each student has a plan for the year after graduation. These plans include many options:

community college •••• 4-year college •••• technical college •••• specialty schools apprenticeships •••• on-the-job training •••• military

To assist students to be engaged in their educational planning the following have been implemented as part of the high school graduation requirements.

� a Plan (High School and Beyond Plan) � Pathway focus

Parental support is important. Students who have parents/guardians who are actively involved in their academic careers and planning for the future have a better chance for success during high school and with their post-high school plans. Plan Portfolio All students will have a “High School and Beyond” plan for their four years of high school and for the year after high school. The plan offers the flexibility to explore areas of interest, but with a future goal in mind. It should help students understand what they are learning, why they are learning, and how can they use this learning in their future. You can further define your High School and Beyond Plan by following a Program of Study and taking specific high school courses which satisfy degree requirements at a college or university. A “High School and Beyond” plan is a required document in every student’s portfolio. The portfolio is where students store their High School and Beyond Plan and its supporting documents. Required components include:

� A career goal � A resume and cover letter � An educational goal � Two letters of recommendation � A four-year course plan for high school � Completion of Career Pathway inventory � Identification of required assessments � Completion of Career Interest Profiler

Pathway A pathway is a framework for an organized sequence of classes, experiences, and community- based activities, supporting students in career exploration and educational preparation. The pathway provides a framework for selecting classes related to their post-high school plans. These plans within a pathway are flexible and may change as students progress through their high school experience.

For more information, see the SKHS website and foll ow the links “Advisory/Pack/Portfolio”.

ATHLETES ENTER HERE”. It has the entire guide that contains the eligibility requirements, contact information for help, a worksheet, frequently asked questions, and much more.

(The following information is from the NCAA Eligibility Center Quick Reference Guide) Divisions I and II Initial-Eligibility Requirements

Core Courses • NCAA Divisions I Qualifier Division, Academic Redshirt, and Division II require 16 core courses. See the charts below.

• NCAA approved courses are marked NCAA in this course catalog. • NCAA Division I requires 10 core courses to be completed prior to the seventh semester (seven of the 10

must be a combination of English, math or natural or physical science that meet the distribution requirements below). These 10 courses become "locked in" at the start of the seventh semester and cannot be retaken for grade improvement. o Students who do not meet core-course progression requirements may still be eligible to receive athletics aid and

practice in the initial year of enrollment by meeting academic redshirt requirements (see below). Test Scores • Division I uses a sliding scale to match test scores and core grade-point averages (GPA). The sliding scale for those

requirements can be found online at www.eligibilitycenter.org.

• Division II requires a minimum SAT score of 820 or an ACT sum score of 68.

• The SAT score used for NCAA purposes includes only the critical reading and math sections. The writing section of the SAT is not used.

• The ACT score used for NCAA purposes is a sum of the following four sections: English, mathematics, reading and science.

• When you register for the SAT or ACT, use the NCAA Eligibility Center code of 9999 to ensure all SAT and ACT scores are reported directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center from the testing agency. Test scores that appear on transcripts will not be used.

Grade-Point Average • Be sure to look at your high school’s List of NCAA Courses on the NCAA Eligibility Center's website

(www.eligibilitycenter.org). Only courses that appear on your school's List of NCAA Courses will be used in the calculation of the core GPA. Use the list as a guide.

• Division I GPA required to receive aid, be eligible to practice, and compete is a 2.3. (corresponding test-score requirements are listed on NCAA Division I sliding scale).

• Division I Academic Redshirt: requires students to have a GPA of 2.0. (corresponding test-score requirements are listed on NCAA Division I sliding scale). Core courses do not have to be “locked in” for initial eligibility.

• The Division II core GPA requirement is a minimum of 2.000.

• Remember, the NCAA GPA is calculated using NCAA core courses only.

NCAA COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC and SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBILITY

All courses offered by South Kitsap High School are listed in this section. However, not all courses listed here are necessarily offered or taught each semester. Some courses may not be offered due to lack of student i nterest, funding and/or teacher availability. Listing a course under a particular subject heading indicates that the course qualifies for meeting subject area requirements for graduation (some courses are specifically required by state statutes). In some cases, courses are listed under more than one subject area. These are called “cross-credited” courses and can be used to meet the graduation requirement in both subject areas. One credit is recorded on the transcript, while two graduation requirements are “checked off” as being met. This does not reduce the number of credits required for graduation. Prerequisites are designed to ensure that the student has appropriate skills upon entering courses that require sequential skill development. Some courses require teacher RECOMMENDATION or teacher PERMISSION:

• RECOMMENDATION—the student must be recommended by a former teacher who is capable of evaluating the student’s fitness for the course.

• PERMISSION—the student must obtain permission from the instructor who is currently teaching the course in order to register for the course.
